needed especially in today's tough times. >> we have been using alot of our savings and retirement to try to pay the mortgage. >> try to pay as much as possible but i don't know as to when i can do it no. >> we are setting up over here. >> okay. >> reporter: now, in addition to that, they are going to help those who lost their homes in foreclosure called independent foreclosure review. the idea is that this group will work with federal regulators to help find solutions for homeowners whose lenders were part of illegal foreclosures. in the process, some of these homeowners could get their homes back or they could get the government to pay them or force the lenders to pay them about $125,000. so that is good news if you are in this type of situation. if this is something you're interested in attending again it will be at the south hall of the san jose convention center all week starting at 8 a.m. organizers recommend people come early as these people have

done behind me. live in san jose, cate caugiran, cbs 5. 6:40. a near fatal attack. how a california surfer escaped the jaws of a shark. >> plus this is no way to cross the border. the illegal crossing into arizona that turned into an epic failure. >> didn't work. >> the market opened up about 10 minutes ago. it's day 2 since hurricane sandy. right now, things are looking pretty good. coming up, we'll update the numbers and we'll check business with jason brooks. stay with us.

illegally cross into the u-s from mexico was not a great success.. this one hap take a look at this. the u.s. border patrol says this attempt to illegally cross into the u.s. from mexico was

not a great success. this one happened in yuma, arizona. the agency says two men inside the car ran back to mexico after the jeep got stuck at the top of the 14-foot fence. >> what did lawrence say? he thought it was an ad for jeep. >> did make it halfway up. conspicuous, though. it's a tale of two cities and both in new york. specifically, the island of manhattan. the view from brooklyn here will show lower manhattan still in the dark because of sandy. but uptown the lights as you can see are on. that part of the city is getting back to normal including subway service this morning. so new york slowly recovering. >> it's 6:45 right now. let's get another check on the weather. you guys were trick or treating in the rain last night? >> out in the rain with a lot of other trick or treaters out there with the umbrellas out. looks like the rain is sliding further south this morning breaking up a little bit. high-def doppler radar picking up on the showers toward san jose and into the santa cruz mountains we are seeing moderate amounts of rainfall. the rain sliding further south

now on 101. so toward gilroy and morgan hill, be careful. it's going to be slick early on. skies parting a bit by the afternoon. we'll see a little bit of sunshine this afternoon with clearing, still a slight chance of a wandering shower but much drier much warmer weather is on the way and for the weekend we're look really nice. this cold front moves through right now. you have one behind it here. looks impressive but not going to get here. high pressure going to sneak in. this afternoon we dry out. computer models showing the cold front here breaking up as it moves south. behind that by the middle of the day partly cloudy skies, and then the afternoon maybe a pop-up shower mainly over the mountains and that's it and then we dry out and the temperatures the next couple of days looking nice. all right. for today we have some delays though at sfo of over an hour. a chance of showers in the afternoon. traveling around the country not too bad. 80s houston, partly cloudy denver, 52 in chicago and new york. temperatures around the bay area today in the 60s maybe

some low 70s well inland and then over the next couple of days, high pressure builds in offshore winds on sunday could send the temperatures up to 70s and 80s in many parts of the bay area and continuing into next week. elizabeth? >> thanks, lawrence. we are still dealing with slick roads out the door this morning. you can see the headlights and taillights around the dublin interchange. so far it is getting busier. but overall, the drive time is stacking up because of an earlier crash in livermore. so the real stop and go traffic is from 205 out of tracecy all the way past north livermore avenue where that earlier crash was. you can see it on our live traffic sensors. 16 miles per hour. so very heavy speeds -- very slow speeds through there. then things improve for the dublin interchange. a few brake lights now if you are leaving milpitas for the silicon valley commute. westbound 237 a little bit stop and go towards san jose. we're also getting flooding

reports still on northbound 101 approaching paul as you make your way towards hospital curve. earlier one lane was blocked because this is standing water in the roadway. a little difficult to see this camera now but just south of there everything is moving okay past candlestick down towards sfo on 101. 280 looks good, as well. coming up, we'll get a check of mass transit and the bay bridge. in the meantime, back to you guys. >> thank you. new jobless claims are down a bit. here now to chat about it is jason brooks with kcbs and cbsmoneywatch.com on a thursday. jason, good morning. >> reporter: a barrage of economic reports out this morning. leading the way weekly jobless claims falling by 9,000 this past week to 363,000. we saw the four-week average dip a bit to 367,000. these numbers really suggest a flat hiring market. tomorrow, we get the all- important october jobs report from the labor department. and economists are expecting a net gain of 124,000 jobs last
